The people in the capital are still living in peace, but many ministers are keenly aware that the capital seems to have the smell of the mountains and the rain.
The imperial guards and Jinwuwei are constantly dispatched, the imperial city is under martial law, and the prince’s face is getting harder and harder to see...
The ministers thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was no movement from the emperor for a long time.
Although the emperor was in retreat, he occasionally distributed some pills to several officials. The emperor hadn't given them the pill for a long time, it was a bit abnormal.
Of course, the emperor could not really rise to the throne. Thinking about how the emperor got the throne, everyone began to wonder if the prince was ready to take the throne.
However, the ministers quickly dispelled this idea. The emperor has set up a prince for some time. No prince can stop the prince from ascending to the throne. The prince should not be so anxious that he wants to kill the emperor and usurp the throne.
What happened? When going to court these few days, the atmosphere in the court is always very depressing.
After leaving the dynasty, Xiao Yu went directly to Chengqian Palace.
Fang De welcomed him up and respectfully praised: "His Royal Highness."
"Is the father still not awake?" Xiao Yu asked. These days, he has become more and more cold. The bright yellow crown prince's python robe is worn on his body, making his skin extremely pale.
Fang Dexi shook his head.
Xiao Yu raised his foot and walked to the side of the dragon couch.
The emperor who used to be extremely majestic, but now he was thinned to a bone, lying on his face, his eyes closed, his cheeks sunk deeply. His hair is mostly white, as dry as straw. Such an inhuman and ghostly appearance, if the coward sees it, he will definitely be scared.
Xiao Yu clenched his hands into fists, looking at the face of the emperor, his eyes were full of complexity and forbearance.
"President Fang, you have been in the palace for dozens of years. In the past, you can stand by Xiao Zhuo's side. This palace does not care about you. Right now is the time to make a decision. You should know how to do it, right?"
Fang Dexi hurriedly nodded and bowed, "The minion understands that the prince can rest assured that the emperor is seriously ill, and the minion will never spread a word." He knew that once the emperor died and the prince ascended the throne, it must be clearing the palace, and then they Where can these eunuchs have good fruit to eat? Now that the prince gave him this opportunity, he must seize this opportunity.
After Xiao Yu was out of the palace, the queen mother and the empress came with them.
"Empress mother, your majesty is still in retreat, so no one is allowed to disturb. Don't worry, as long as your majesty leaves the customs, the slave will definitely let you know." Fang Dexi faced the two most noble women in the world, Qiang Said calmly.
Although the queen mother and the emperor are mother and son, the relationship is really not good. The mother and son only met at some palace banquets and royal ancestors. Now that the queen mother is here, is she suspicious of the emperor's affairs
Fang Dexi was uncertain, but he still had to mediate with the Queen Mother.
"The same excuse, Ae's family has heard it once. Last time, the Ae's family died of her husband. This time, I was planning to let the Ae's family die a son, right?" The queen mother said coldly without looking at him. : "If you don't let go, the Aijia will direct someone to drag you down and die."
Fang Dexi knew that the queen mother would do it when she said it, so she stepped aside. Anyway, there are countless Jinwu guards guarding the emperor's bedroom, and the queen mother may not be able to see the emperor's face.
The Queen Mother and the Queen walked straight in. Sure enough, there were two rows of Jinwu Guards standing at the door, each wearing armor and holding weapons.
The queen pays attention to the count, there are at least thirty or forty people she can see. The emperor only retreats, why arrange so many Jinwu guards at the door? The emperor's retreat empress also came before, and there are not so many Jinwuwei, why so many people suddenly appeared today
"Get out of the way." The Queen Mother shouted.
"The empress dowager forgiveness is not that the slaves will not let you in, but that your majesty has given orders. He has suddenly made a breakthrough in his mood these days, and he always feels that he will be able to see the way of heaven immediately. In order not to be disturbed, the special servants guarded the door. , No one is allowed to enter."
The Queen Mother sneered: "This excuse is okay for you to deceive the children who don't know what to do. Is it true that you are a fool for you to fool?"
Several Jinwuwei was sweating coldly. Although they were powerful warriors of martial arts, they did not have the slightest prestige in front of the queen.
"You are not even willing to listen to the orders of the Aijia. Don't expect the prince to give you much benefit after he becomes the throne. You are just pawns in his hand." The queen mother snorted, "You really think I am right. Don’t you know what the prince did?"
Naturally, Jingowei dare not think so.
When the queen mother assisted the first emperor to quell the five kings' chaos, they didn't know where they were.
What can be hidden from the Queen Mother
After the Queen Mother left, the Jinwu Guards wiped off their sweat and unanimously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, now it seems that the prince has to act." The queen said, "It's just that sooner or later this country belongs to him. Why is he so impatient?"
The queen mother said in a deep voice: "Then there is only one reason, he doesn't have enough confidence in whether he can ascend to the throne."
This is also puzzling. Since the emperor made Xiao Yu the prince, why did Xiao Yu still feel so insecure
"Queen, you are not surprised, the emperor has clearly appointed Xiao Yu as the prince, why didn't the emperor give the jade seal to Xiao Yu when Xiao Yu was in charge of the country?"
The prince’s supervision of the country is not an overnight affair. If there is no Yuxi, many orders cannot be issued, which naturally causes many inconveniences.
"Either the emperor is still hesitating about opposing the four princes as the prince, or the emperor does not want to delegate power yet." the queen said.
"No, there is another possibility," the queen mother said slowly, "the jade seal may not be in the hands of the emperor."
Rao is the queen who is calm and self-sufficient, and can't help but let out an exclamation at this time, how is such an appalling thing possible
The queen mother's eyes were faint, and no one knew better than her how the emperor came to the throne.
He stepped on the flesh and blood of his brothers. During that palace change, the emperor got rid of his heart troubles, and the queen mother also lost his most cherished young son. The love of their mother and son also removed his own younger brother. That moment came to an end.
When the first emperor was alive, his favorite prince candidate was the youngest son Xiao Huaiyou, who had proposed to make Xiao Huaiyou the prince more than once. Xianhuang was seriously ill, Xiao Huaiyou was sent out to quell the chaos, and even Xie Yong was transferred out of the capital. Until the first emperor closed his eyes, he couldn't see his most beloved young son for the last time.
In the last period of the emperor's death, the emperor was like Xiao Yu today, commanding Jin Wuwei to encircle Chengqian Palace, and no one can look at the emperor.
At that time, the queen mother who was still a queen was naturally stronger than now, and she forcibly broke into the first emperor's bedroom. The emperor Xian was already withered, still chanting Xiao Huaiyou's name in his mouth.
The emperor was concerned about the youngest son until his death, and he didn't know the news of the youngest son's death. Why did he leave the edict to the emperor
The Queen Mother already knew the emperor's methods well.
It's just that everything has settled. The one who died was her own son, and the one who was on the throne was also her own son. How did she make a decision
Over the years, the Queen Mother never missed her little son. The more proud the emperor was, the more guilty she felt for her youngest son. This guilt reached its peak with the suicide of Prince Xianyu. If it wasn't for the emperor's selfishness, why was there only two young children left in the Prince Yu's Mansion
Xiao Tan was only a few months old at that time and didn't understand anything, but Xiao Xuan was at the age of remembering things, and he might not know anything.
"Has the princess Yu haven't entered the palace for a long time?" the queen mother suddenly asked.
The queen did not expect the topic of the queen dowager to change so quickly, she was taken aback, and replied: "The princess Yu's body is getting heavier and heavier. The little prince loves his wife, so it is right not to let her bump."
The queen mother nodded, "A Xuan is an idea, and Princess Yu is also a smart person. After A Xuan has been alone for so long, the Ai family finally doesn't have to worry about him."
The concubines saw Xiao Yu's movements in their eyes.
"Just like his biological mother, it looks like a dog that doesn't make a sound. It really will bite and bark." Concubine Rong said.
Yubi agreed, "Isn't it? Let's not talk about his short-lived biological mother, isn't it the same as Concubine Liang? Who knows that her son has become a prince."
"Four princes become princes, this may not be the opinion of Liang Feile." Shu Fei, who has always been taciturn, said. Shu Fei is the concubine who has been with the emperor for the longest time. A concubine has no direct conflict of interest, so he can talk to any concubine.
Concubine Shu knew how Xiao Yu's biological mother Li Meiren was favored, how disgusted by the emperor, and how Xiao Yu was recorded under the name of Concubine Liang.
"It's also Li's fate. Without that blessing, her son called someone else to be a mother. She herself didn't know where she became a lonely ghost." Concubine Rong shook her fan and smiled while covering her lips.
The concubine Xian entered the palace several years later. She didn't know anything about what happened in the past, and she didn't care about these things in the past. At this time, she couldn't help being aroused by curiosity and asked what happened that year.
Concubine Shu whispered: "His Majesty was still a prince, but one day he brought back a beauty who was pampered like a baby, but Gao Xuelan was not favored by her before."
Speaking of Gao Xuelan, everyone showed expressions of disgust. Even though she was still a noble concubine, she had long been forgotten by the emperor. The most insignificant beauty dared to say something to her in public. Anyway, the second prince is dead, and Gao Xuelan is crazy again, and she is not afraid that she will get back in revenge in the future.
"Then how did she suddenly get disgusted by your majesty? It stands to reason that she just gave birth to a boy for your majesty. It was the time when she was favored." Concubine Xian asked curiously. If you are pampered, you don’t know how high the sky is, and you forgot to measure?"
"How can it be, the story behind this is so simple."
